Mayfield has been playing at a high level as one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. His efforts have firmly elevated the Buccaneers to playoff contention, standing out with a 4-1 record prior to Week 6.
Mayfield's two highlights took place in the second half. The first happened as he executed a scramble, breaking tackles as he gained 15 yards on the ground.
It was another example of his sneaky athleticism. He may not be fast, but he can evade defenders' tackles as he proves to be hard to get sacks against.
Mayfield followed up that play with a marvelous touchdown highlight . He found receiver Tez Johnson for the pass as the latter went for 45 yards to reach the end zone and score for Tampa Bay.
